A Cornish surfer defied warnings to ride what are thought to be the biggest waves recorded off the west coast of Ireland.
Duncan Scott, 29, from Newquay, was surfing at Mullagmore Head in Donegal Bay as waves estimated at 55ft (16.7m) high lashed the coast.

Friends of mine are coming over for this new swell hitting California...looks like Ghost Trees is where the action will be, more westerly..Mavericks may have wind...anyhow I'm heading to Morro Bay....will be teaching a class, and towsurfing possibly..anyhow..should be fun, we'll see. It's been cold in the air, bite, but its worse when you spend three days in it training...brrr...
